That is great news. Personally I’d run him in the VFL this week and have him roaring to go against the blues. They’re all huge games.
Membrey that is

[saynta]

This is a bit different.

Not quite how it reads. Bytel cleared of serious injury and will have this week off and see if it's 1 week or more after that.

[ace]

That's how I read it too.
He dodged a long layoff but still will miss at least one game.

Bytel and Membrey both need to pass fitness tests

If they do, they’re available

[Vortex]

Max is still ATLEAST 6 weeks away, .

Steely is STILL a few weeks away.

[saintkid]

Really happy for Bytel...excellent news!
Just want him to have a good run for a change so he has the opportunity to prove himself.

[SaintPav]

Lucky boy.

We can’t afford to lose anyone else.

[B.M]

Deserved a bit of luck

Dropped weight in the preseason and got really fit

Just needs opportunity imo

The recruiting of Crouch has made it hard for him - obviously Crouch is a proven performer

I think he can make it

Maybe somewhere else though?

Good news re Bytel

Possibly play Membrey as the sub?
Pretty handy

How come Coffield is still 6 weeks away with calf strain suffered before the season started??

[SaintPav]

We don’t have that much midfield depth.

Steely is STILL a few weeks away.

I’d expect Steele to play against Carlton round 6 & Max round 7 barring mishaps.
Not sure about Webster but I hope to hear something at training this morning.

Calves can be a cow of a thing.

I hoping for some bovine intervention

Can you get suspended for dad jokes?

That would be sensational . Mike - look forward to your update

I wouldn’t have thought Membrey comes in for Caminiti and definitely not for Owens. Maybe sub him in this week.

We have a structure that has worked quite well so far this season, so it’s a matter of how Membrey fits in. I’d expect he’s a lead up third forward, pushing well up the ground. He’s a bit different to Caminiti, who has the makings of a genuine key position player.

[B.M]

Coffield did a hamstring didn’t he? Not a calf.

A lot on the list hasn’t changed changed since last update

King was 6-9 a month ago

[Mr Magic]

Saints Facebook now stating Steele will play against Carlton - that seems like a short recuperation period for the injury he sustained.

Maybe he really is made of steel

RTB says Steele will play against Carlton, but Secret_Vortex says he's STILL weeks away, I'm torn...

Don't tell me another one of his conspiracy theories (lying on injury reports to boost memberships / supporter morale) has blown up in his face!

i wouldn't be paying too much attention to him.

I wouldn’t have been surprised if Jack Steele wasn’t fit for this Sundays game watching him go through a searching fitness test this morning. Billings is not far behind

[wally]

Going to be interesting as senior players become available there was also another thread hinting that Keelor may debut shortly as well,
